Pencil test?

My mom did this on me last night and it showed this baby was a girl. Now she did it on my other 2 kids and it was right then too. She says she has never seen it wrong in 30 years. Anyone else's mother do this? What do you think?

I doubt there is any science behind it. Take a brand new pencil, sharpen to a point. Thread a needle and push needle into the eraser. Have mom sit down and rest hands/wrists in lap. Dangle pencil over wrist. If it circles then its a girl and if it swings side to side it's a boy.

lol I had a whole different meaning for "pencil test" in high school (you put the pencil under your boobs, if your boobs don't eat the pencil - you're perky, if they eat the pencil, you're droopy hahaha)

Haha, Nashville... That's totally what I thought when I saw the thread title too. However, I learned the definition when I was Internet dating and a guy I'd been chatting with asked me if I passed or failed. ...then we weren't chatting with each other anymore.
